Which one's this? Number nine?
Robert Franklin:
Yeah, this is number nine. Bright Eyes, we call her. Are you watching this? This is unbelievable.

[grabs treat and eats it]
Will Rodman:
How many moves was that?
Robert Franklin:
20.
[Will looks at them and starts to head out]
Robert Franklin:
Yeah, a perfect score is 15. Doc, what are you giving her?
Will Rodman:
[heads out]
Hey, give that video!
[runs out the hallway and opens the door to Steven Jacobs' office]
Will Rodman:
Chimp number nine, just one dose.
Steven Jacobs:
[looks at Will and holds a phone down]
Aren't I seeing you later?
Will Rodman:
[puts file on desk]
We're good to go.
Steven Jacobs:
I'm going to call you back. Yeah, all right. Thanks. Bye.
Will Rodman:
The 112. It works.
[walks to a large screen]
Steven Jacobs:
On just the one primate.
Will Rodman:
One is all we need. Full cognitive recorvery. We're ready.
Steven Jacobs:
Look are you sure you're not rushing this?
Will Rodman:
I've been working on this for five and a half years. The data is clear. We're ready, Steven. All I need is your approval for human trials.
Steven Jacobs:
For this, you're going to need the board's approval. There's alot of money riding on this, Will. You only get one shot.
Will Rodman:
One shot is all I need.
Steven Jacobs:
[sighing]
All right. But I'll need to see all the research.
Will Rodman:
[bangs on the desk]
You got it.
Steven Jacobs:
And, Will...
Will Rodman:
Yeah?
Steven Jacobs:
Keep your personal emotions out of it. These people invest in results, not dreams.
Will Rodman:
Okay.
